any car can be registered in the us as long as you pay to send it through the fedral safty inspection. but its gonna cost you. there are other ways. but those are illegal.

yeah just buy the same body style in a 240sx, register the 240, switch the vin plates and license plates onto the silvia... part out the 240, use what you need and donate the rest to me. :)

What year? If it is a 95 or up...good luck. You will have to convert it to OBD2. Email Motorex and ask them the hoops they have to jump through to get Skylines legal...

every highway patrol in calif. knows how to inspect visually for emissions components. if your asked to open the hood thats why. if any thing looks suspicious you are sent to get a smog inspection.

If your in the military smogs and registration rules are slightly bent for you. you may want to investigate the rules that apply to your specific situation.
